Have you installed the appropriate protoccols on the W95 for talking
to a WFWG network?  You need to select Network Neighborhood/Properties
to bring up the Network configuration panel.  On this you need to
select Add... and then add the drivers for Client for MS Networks,
File and printer sharing for  MS networks and the NetBEUI protocol.

Once you have done this you connect to a WFWG directory in Explorer by
selecting Tools/Map Network Drive.  You will have to explicitly
specify the logical path (including the computer name) of the
directory you wish to connect to.

I theory one should also be able to connect to a shared Windows 95
directory from the WFWG machines using the usual techniques.  However,
I have been unable to get my WFWG machine to see my W95 machine.  I
would be interested to hear of your experience.
